Update 7/28.. Now Official current version by VzW. Changes per VzW are:
- Properly receive incoming calls.
- After sending a multi-recipient SMS messages, single-recipient SMS messages will send correctly.
- SMS Message reply is sent to the correct recipient.
- Google Books is now preloaded.
Update 7/23.. It looks like you don't even need to *228 the other phone. Just get an ESN/MEID of some other VzW smartphone (that isn't currently activated on VzW), swap it on MyVerizon and then swap it back to the Fascinate. Then *228 your Fascinate.
Update 7/22..
*** Warning, some people have reported loosing 1x/3G data svc after flashing with SamsungPST. Flashing with ODIN until is OK.
If you loose data you have two options right now..
1. Login to My Verizon and swap your phone number to some other phone, activate it (*228) and then swap it back to your Fascinate.
2. Call Verizon and tell them you are not getting any data (but voice works ok) and that you would like your keys reset.
